What to see in Amalfi.
Book the crossing, then let the day open up — turns the Sorrento to Amalfi ferry into a full day on the coast.
The Duomo di Amalfi
The striped Cattedrale di Sant'Andrea rises above the piazza on a dramatic sweep of steps — the first thing you see as you walk up from the port, and the heart of the old town.
The coastline from the water
The best view of the Amalfi Coast is the one from the boat: pastel villages stacked on the cliffs, terraced lemon groves and hidden coves you simply cannot see from the road above.
Lanes, lemons & the marina
Behind the seafront, narrow whitewashed lanes climb between lemon terraces to cafes and family shops. Wander up for a granita, then drift back down to the marina for the boat home.
